Making a short tour of Europe, I had the good fortune to see an amazing sight in Prague. The Prague medieval clock, made at the very beginning of the 15th century, can truly be called a brilliant creation even by the standards of the twentieth century. The chimes show in addition to the time of the Czech Republic, the time of other countries, and various astronomical phenomena of the rising and setting of the sun of the moon, the zodiac circle and much more. At the end of each hour, you can see various figures of symbols on the clock and, if you're lucky, you can hear the voice of a golden rooster that crows at a certain time. This miracle of human genius is located on the town hall of the Old Town Square and is available to all tourists.
